Short and sweet YA novella about friendship and love.
Two girls, from opposite backgrounds meet and form a friendship despite their differences. On their shared 16th birthday they accidentally cast a spell meaning they switch bodies. This is freaky friday with class and cultural differences and a smidge of Cinderella.
The two main characters are loveable and there is some witty dialogue. It is covers some grittier subjects such as child abuse and neglect. The story has a fairy tale like quality to it so there is a happy ending.
Would happily have read a full length version of this story.
